With Huntress, a new class holds inReduction that not only swirsles, unleash elementary effects and conjures up animal spirits-she also brings a cool hybrid combat system that even the jungle fighter colleague Spiritbornmakes old look old.
This can be the new hunter from Path of Exile 2
Huntress is in motion. Always. Those who play them rarely stand still - because their strength lies in the flowing change between melee and remote attacks, between attack and withdrawal.
With their starting capacityWhirling Slash
Throw them through opponents, leaves a dazzling tornado and triggers an explosion when leaving the zone - the more often the skill used, the greater the effect. And who now thinks:Okay, classic vertebrae-aoe
, he has not yet seen what happens when you hit elementary spears through the burning tornado field.
Because this is exactly where the central design of Huntress comes in: Fire vertebrae soaks soil fire, which was generated by explosive spear, twistrifting projectile fly through the zone and transform into fire canados,Lightning Spear
Leaves shock fields, which in turn react with other skills. Everything interlocks.
And while other classes have to decide whether they prefer to shoot from a distance or strike in close combat, the HUNTRESS do both in a single, liquid movement. You can read about what the next patch off the class away from the class is in detail at Gamestar Plus:
The special mechanics of Huntress
In addition to its pace and elementary synergy, the Huntress brings two other systems that clearly stand out from other classes:Parake and tame.
In the off-hand slot, the HUNTRESS typically wears oneBuckler, a small sign that not only enables active counterattacks. With the skillParryKeep your attacks and counters automatically - including short anesthesia of the opponent and increased damage to your next action.
It gets even more exciting if you do that withDisengageCombined: a backward salo that leaves parried opponent in an explosion and gives you a Frenzy Charge. But as always at Path of Exile: If you exaggerate it, you will be punished. A parade too much, and you will be stunned yourself - the system is rewarding timing, not spamming.
And then there would be the most charming feature in the class:Animal companion! In the fight against wild beasts, you can tame them and take them with you as a companion - including the mods that they had beforehand. You can only call one companion at the same time, but if you capture the right monsters, you can have powerful buffs fight at your side.
Two ways to the goddess of hunting: The Ascendancies
As soon as you have fought enough with the Huntress through spear hordes and animal spirits, as with all classes, the choice of Ascendancy is pending - and it is particularly attractive with her. Because both specializations not only offer strong bonuses, but also completely different identities.
Die Ritualistin
The ritualist follows the dark paths of the Azmeri tradition and pulls her power of animal sacrifices and spoiled vitality. Opponents explode in blood blisters, killed rare mobs give you their mods, and if you want it very extremely, you can even sacrifice yourself to become a walking buff altar for a short time.

Ensure adrenaline gicks in the event of risk - because more damage means less defensive here.
The Amazon
The Amazon is much more classic - but by no means boring. This warrior is fast, efficient and fatal, relies on elementary infusion, WEAKSPOT-MARKING and skills that generate critical hits from accuracy. Combined with effects such as Mystic Harvest (life robbery over elementary damage) or Azmeri Brew (simultaneous regeneration of life and mana over bottles), a playing style is created that is elegant and merciless at the same time.
The new class Huntress in Path of Exile 2 will be released at the same time as the big patch 0.2.0 - Dawn of the Hunt on April 4, 2025. Then a new league with a completely new in -game economy - perfectly to sharpen the spear, throw tornados and test what is possible with HUNTRSS.
